Crime and Punishment

In 19th-century St. Petersburg, a troubled student named Raskolnikov convinces himself he is above the law and commits a shocking crime, only to find himself pulled into a psychological battle with his own guilt. As his actions catch up with him, he crosses paths with a cast of unforgettable characters whose lives become entangled with his own. Dostoevsky's novel is a riveting exploration of sin, punishment and the possibility of redemption, as relevant to questions of conscience today as when it was written.
